Park Rental

Park and Gazebo rental agreement information located in the Docs & Forms. All income from park rental goes directly to the HOA.

Home and Landscape Maintenance

As time goes by, everything ages, even our homes. The CC&R's require homeowners to care for homes, which protects the property values. Please take a moment to look over your home's exterior and see what nees to be done. A few examples being: painting faded or peeling trim, pressure washing or painting exteriors, and cleaning moss off roofs.

Standard lot homeowners are responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks and park strip landscape (trees).

Carriage Collection homeowners are responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks but not for park strip landscape (trees) or front or side yards that face a street. The maintenance of carriage lot yards (both front and side if facing a street) including the park strip and its landscape (both front and sides if facing a street) are the responsibility of the HOA.

Blocking Public Right of Way

Do not leave basketball hoops, skateboard ramps, or other sporting in public streets or in locations that block sidewalks. They constitute traffic and pedestrian hazards and prevent emergency services from responding in a timely manner.

Removing Trees

If you want to remove a park strip tree as a standard lot homeowner you need to fill out a city application and get their approval. Applications are available at the Banks City Hall, during normal business hours, or online at www.cityofbanks.org.

From the City of Banks, select City Services > Permits, License & Forms > Parks > Tree Removal & Replacement Application. Print the form and submit it to the City for review.

Carriage owners cannot remove trees from the parkstrip or yards (both front and sides if facing a street) without the approval of the Architectural Control Committee.

Parking and Street Cleaning

Do not park on the side of streets with posted no parking signs. Emergency services cannot reach homes if both sides of the streets are blocked.

Clean Water Services sweeps the streets, but that cannot do so if cars are parked on the wrong side of the street or the trees are not trimmed to a height of 12 feet.
